Converted 20/9/2014 to housing use. Closed 21/7/2013 and up for auction, guide price £200-300k. Although the planning application mentions demolition, that never occured as the original building was converted. Planning Application DC/050634 | Demolition of public house and erection of 6 dwellings (outline application). Granted 21/6/2013.

History: Latterly a two-room JW Lees house - large main room with stage area, with a sizeable vault too. Most of the interior including a stage area was part-panelled in a pleasing way. Known locally as the War Office, possibly as it may have acted as a recruiting office for WWII.

Historic Interest

Opened 1930s as a new-build house. Former Wilsons Brewery house.
